I genuinely don't know if I'm overreacting or being pfb here and would appreciate some advice.
DS is year 1, 6 years old, goes to local state primary school. Last month the terrible shootings in the US occurred, and we spent about 2 weeks staying off the news channels etc - we just felt it was too much for him to process etc.
Anyway all good until over the holidays he pipes up with "I know that someone in America went into a school and killed some teachers and children". We were surprised and asked him how he knew about that, and he said it was because the headteacher told them about it in assembly.
Now I know we've only got his side of the story. I know we may not have the proper facts or that there may be a good reason why it was brought up. But would it be reasonable for me to ask the head why it was raised? Or am I being desperately pfb? I have a feeling from things he said that the reason it may have been raised was to pray for everyone involved - which is obviously well meant, but surely could the situation could have been alluded to for the benefit of children who did know what had happened, rather than specifying quite precise detail? Or are we unusual in having protected him from this news?
Genuinely interested in other opinions here so thanks in advance.
